The Math Problem With Human-in-the-Loop AI

Most organizations treat "human in the loop" like a solved design pattern. Dr. Fern Halper, VP of Research at TDWI and author of Data Makes the World Go 'Round, says it's often just a checkbox — and that the real risk isn't agents replacing us, it's losing the judgment we'd need to supervise them. In this episode, George Firican talks with Fern about why organizations stall on AI, what's actually different about agentic AI, automation bias, the erosion of original thought, and why trust deserves equal billing with data and technology in any AI strategy.
